Lion's Tight End Joseph Fauria Sprained his Ankle Trying to Stop His Dog From Peeing

Yahoo- Lil' Rufio, who appears to be a Husky puppy, caused his owner to suffer a sprained ankle and miss game action. Fauria is still in a walking boot from the dog.

So I am not sure what the Detroit Lions training staff is doing, but its fair to say it is not their jobs. First Stephen Tulloch's ACL explodes while celebrating, and now Fauria hurts himself because his puppy can't hold it. What? These guys are professional athletes. The most athletic specimens on earth. How do they keep hurting themselves doing normal people shit. 

Do we have to hire people to do normal everyday shit for every Lions player? Like no one is allowed to reach for the top shelf, or take a pan out of the cupboard, or make their own coffee and go for a morning walk. No normal people shit for this team. Maybe they should just sleep in the locker room for the rest of the season. They are better at staying healthy doing the most rigorous and physically draining activity on the planet. However, you put them in their own home and they are more injury prone than Joe the 280 pound plumber who hasn't seen his dick or feet seen 1982.  Just totally does not register with me.

Then again, he's more than likely lying. Goddamn contract stipulations…

Fauria said he was goofing around, warming up with his friends at a rec volleyball game Wednesday but that has nothing to do with injury
